Mana Eggnog
About
The Mana Eggnog is a festive, indulgent twist on classic holiday nog - creamy, warmly spiced, and built on the rich flavor of Teremana Reposado. The addition of Oloroso Sherry brings nutty depth and dried-fruit richness, while heavy cream, a whole egg, and a touch of simple syrup create that signature silky texture.
A pinch of salt, cinnamon, and chili powder adds a subtle savory warmth that keeps the cocktail from feeling overly sweet. It’s cozy, aromatic, and perfect for fireside evenings, holiday gatherings, or after-dinner sipping when you want something decadent but balanced.
Shaken or Stirred? Dry shake first, then shake again with ice for maximum froth and smoothness.
What You'll Need
Single Serve
- 1 oz Teremana Reposado
- 1 oz Oloroso Sherry

- 1 Whole Egg

Pro Tip
Dry shake with a spring (or the shaker coil) if you have one - it helps whip the egg and cream into a beautifully silky foam. And always crack the egg into a separate bowl first to avoid shell mishaps.
